Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime procured DNA reagents and servicing for DNA equipment. The requirement combines the supply of laboratory reagents with maintenance and support for the equipment used with them. It is primarily a specialist equipment maintenance and laboratory supplies requirement, with the servicing element classified under repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment (CPV 50400000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in London. This is relevant to businesses that manufacture or distribute DNA reagents, maintain laboratory or precision diagnostic equipment, or can provide both supplies and associated technical support. The scope is focused on one buyer’s DNA-related operational requirement rather than general policing, facilities management or unrelated equipment services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. It had one lot. QIAGEN LIMITED was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The award covers the DNA reagent and DNA equipment servicing requirement and relates to repair and maintenance services for medical and precision equipment. The published outcome identifies QIAGEN LIMITED as the selected supplier. The procurement was handled by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, a public authority, and the contract is below threshold.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime for a combined DNA reagent and equipment servicing capability. Businesses well placed for comparable requirements would be able to supply reliable DNA laboratory reagents and support the associated equipment through qualified maintenance, repair and technical service. Credible competitors would need practical experience with medical or precision equipment, dependable access to the required consumables, and the operational capacity to support a public authority’s DNA-related work. Suppliers offering only general maintenance or only unrelated laboratory products would be less closely aligned. The selected supplier’s position also shows the commercial value of combining product supply with equipment support, rather than treating reagents and servicing as entirely separate offerings.
